Italy’s Mario Balotelli wants to kiss the Queen!

Italian footballer Mario Balotelli has said he expects a kiss from the Queen if Italy beat Costa Rica in the 2014 World Cup!

After their 2-1 loss to Uruguay, England need Costa Rica to lose in order to remain in the competition. Balotelli is one of Italy’s top players and could help the Three Lions out by smashing in loads of goals in the game tonight… but he wants a Royal seal of approval if so!

“If we beat Costa Rica i want a kiss,obviously on the cheek, from the UK Queen.” Mario Balotelli

So far the Queen’s not commented but we don’t think her husband, the Duke of Edinburgh, will be too happy about it!

Balotelli plays for Italian side AC Milan and previously for Manchester City where he was always getting into trouble with the bosses. Now he could be getting told off by Her Majesty too!

Do you think the Queen will actually kiss Balotelli? Let us know in the comments below.
